Wildbill Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 $h!t happens . Time too fix it and move on. Any idea of the cause? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcsldr Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 i sure wish i had table top trails to run. do you think 14 can come down to the south when we get some snow please? the manufacturers keep maling better riding sleds and we do not appreciate it . All sledders should experience 1985 when we were happy to ride .period. I agree...the guys complaining about bumps should experience good ole bed spring groomed trails and bogie wheel suspension.

Doonut Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 well, just got the word from Todd. Friggin ring out the exhaust port AGAIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowTouringGuy Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 well, just got the word from Todd. Friggin ring out the exhaust port AGAIN! UGH ! Well, at least it's a quick fix (depending on available parts). If you're 'breaking in' this weekend, our side of the highway could be a destination for you. We won't be brushing again this weekend but it 'could' be possible we are staking the lake. (if you know how to work a drill) :P :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedtoSkidoo Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Yep, must have been doing 5mph when it happened too. Thats kinda weird..............maybe go back on the mechanic who fixed it before! Seriously, that shouldnt have happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, that shouldnt have happened! or maybe the guy who made the pistons with the ring locater pins that keep vacating and leaving me a a huge pile of busted and expensive aluminum parts.

What make of piston? Usually this is a result of not checking and setting the ring end gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full rebuild with Cudney pistons. This time at 2500 sice rebuild its the mag side, piston, jug and head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
